Organ Jazz

I am excited to announce that I am reforming a new jazz organ group. It is currently still in the stages of development, but the nucleus of the group includes a new, incredible and exciting guitarist that Austinites will appreciate and an equally satisfying drummer.

We hope to add some feminine energy in the group as well, including a singer and a very groovy tenor sax player.

Our first private gig is already on the books for the middle of October.

Whereas my previous band NeoTrio focused on the nitty gritty of jazz organ music, the new and yet unnamed version will feature the more dance-able arrangements of that genre in addition to new original and funky arrangements of well known standards.
